I remember him when he used to be a weather man on Central.
Chris Tarrant used to present a Tiswas-lite version of the 6pm Central New slot of a Friday and I remember Ian presenting the weather from Dudley Zoo Penguin enclosure ![]() Tarrant always had him broadcasting from bizarre locations and Ian always seemed happy to do them http://www.itv.com/news/central/upda...cgaskill-dies/ |

Weather forecasts could be boring to watch!! Not with Ian McCaskill. So enthusiastic.
Here is a couple of videos of Rory Bremner impersonating McCaskill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM49UB2Cp9o&t=51s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Eqr44ytH30&t=583s |
